My bio

Sheila is a redeemed, 30 something, wife and mom who calls herself, "A Woman Found." Christ found Sheila plagued by sin and broken, and Sheila found her worth in Christ. Sheila's experienced the pain of divorce, the fragileness of reconciliation, and the lonliness of being unequally yoked in her own marriage. She knows first hand that though giants loom in the land of marriage, our God is bigger, able, and willing to walk us through in victory over them all. Because she's been there, Sheila has a heart for all women to know that their worth is found in Christ. She also has a passion for God to be honored in marriage, and for wives to find great satisfaction in their part in displaying God's glory. Sheila clings to God's Word like a drowning woman and has a desire to draw others to God's word. She does not consider herself a writer, but has a need to write, feeling "woe is me" if she doesn't share her life and what she's learning from God's word through writing. You can find her doing just that at her blog Meditations and Confessions of a Woman Found (Formerly Meditations and Confessions of a Homemaker).

About Me

a little bit about me

HI! I'm Sheila, a 40-something woman caught up in the wonder that I am Christ's and he is mine.

I write here about my daily life and thoughts I have on various subjects related to marriage, motherhood and the real life struggles of walking by faith in Christ.

I'm a slow-to-believe, believer. Most frequent prayer: I believe, help my unbelief!

I'm a One Peter Three wife (a way of saying I'm trying to win my husband to Christ) and a Timothy mom (a way of saying I'm trying to lead my sons to Christ by my life and the scriptures while in a 1 Peter 3 Marriage). I'm raising two polar opposite boys- now 12 and 14- to be men.

I think better when I write. I've kept a journal since I was 9 and started blogging 9 years ago. I'm curious and contemplative and easily distracted. I gaze into the heavens and the Heaven-Maker's words, remember the hard things, fight depression, and long for home and King.

I'm also a registered nurse, a soap maker and wanna be homesteader in suburbia. I feel at home with the smell of alfalfa. I crave God's word. I chew on it all day long.
